Also doesn't hurt when you name a concert hall after yourself, too.

Sadly, we lost Lia Mortensen in 2023. She was the voice of the female genie.

It probably had more utility with artists and MEs and techs that had to slice their time between multiple projects. When you were coding it was pretty much one project at a time, every hour you were on site.

I don't think any of us actually did it. It was a very short-lived idea.

That was an interesting project from Slomiany and Piotrowski, two highly creative people bidding to become a game design team. It had a "Night at the Museum" idea going which was really cool.

Came here to post the same story. The more you think about it afterward, the scarier it gets.
